ESG Integration in Private Equity

Join us for an in-depth discussion exploring how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are integrated throughout the private equity investment lifecycle, from sourcing and ownership to divestment. This event brings together two leading private equity sustainability experts who will share insights, challenges, and best practices for embedding ESG into the investment process.

During this session, we will explore:

• Approaches to screening and identifying potential investment targets
• Effective monitoring of ESG performance during ownership
• Post-divestment considerations and long-term impact
• The unique dynamics of owning private companies
• The scope and limits of influence through board governance
• What’s truly possible, and what isn’t, when driving ESG change

We’ll also dive into real-life case studies, including:

• ESG “turnaround” stories, from identifying risks to transforming companies
• Managing ESG challenges as a minority investor or in multi-stakeholder setting
• Navigating ESG issues at exit and lessons learned along the way
